“Bright damson plum and blackberry coulis flavors glide along, carried by a mouth-watering anise note through the racy, violet-edged finished.”

“The 2014 Cotes du Rhone comes mostly from the Vinsobres region of the southern Rhone, and while it's normally 100% Syrah, there’s 20% of Grenache in the 2014. Pretty, medium-bodied, balanced and with bright acidity, it gives up ample Provencal herbs, white pepper and darker fruit aromas and flavors. It shows the fresh, lively style of the vintage and has plenty to like.”

“It's well balanced with approachable, soft tannins; it tastes of currant and plum, but with the edge of black pepper, spice, and herbs characteristic of Rhône reds.”

“For the full-bodied red wine lover, this 100 percent Syrah features inviting aromatics of black fruit and violets, followed on the palate by juicy red currant, black cherry, plum and licorice. A bold choice for spring but true wine-lovers won't be disappointed.”
